Want to see what it might be like to be in Beauty College? Is it exciting and fin? Scary sometimes? (Hint: The answer is Yes to all!) But read on to look inside a day in the life of our students and why they wouldn’t trade a minute of it.

This Thursday see what the first day of class is like. Next Thursday we’ll take a look at what it feel like after the first 6 weeks.

The first day of a new career…

“This is something I’ve been looking forward to since I was just a little girl! I was full of both nerves and excitement, knowing that the day had finally begun for me to start my new career! Everyone was so nice and welcoming, especially the students that had been here a little longer than me! Right when Kathy started telling us about herself and the expectations, so to speak, of Lytle’s, you could tell that this wasn’t just a normal beauty school. People here act as one big family; encouraging, complimenting, and generally caring for one another. I couldn’t be more thrilled and excited to be here and I look forward to everyday on this ongoing journey through and beyond/after I leave Lytle’s REBC!” -Maranee C.

​”On my first day of my new life we were in the area of nails. I love getting my nails done so I was super excited about that. The diseases, conditions, and disorders of the nails were very interesting. The pictures really helped to show me what it truly looked like. I love everyone in my class and they were all very welcoming and helpful around the classroom. At first, I was very nervous coming into a school where I didn’t know a single person, but I’ve already met some amazing girls and I feel like we’ve known each other forever. We eat lunch together, we’re partners for everything, we joke around, and we study together. Doing all of this has made my first week fo school amazing and I’m so happy I started here. I love it!” -Jazymne Taylor

​”I was very nervous my first day, I didn’t know what to expect. I got to class early and found that most people were already there. The teachers introduced themselves and seemed very nice, which made me relax some. After the introductions we pretty much jumped right into the lesson. It was a little overwhelming at first but the teachers and students who had already been here for 6 weeks were very helpful. The day flew by, before I knew it the day was over and I had finished my first day as a Cosmetology Student. Even with how fast paced and overwhelming the first day seemed, it was a lot of fun.” -Jessica Rankin

“​My first day at Lytle’s was really exciting for me. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. All of the staff and teachers are very helpful. Even though all the information was new and somewhat overwhelming at first, class was fin and interesting. The seven hour class day went by really fast, I expected it to feel much longer. I can’t wait to see how the year at Lytle’s goes, I think it will be great.” -Cosmetology Student about Day 1

“My first day here went really well and was way better than I expected. Coming into this I thought it was going to be very long and boring days just learning out of a book. The teachers are so great and have the perfect way of teaching. They don’t overload us with too much information at once and I love how we start the day off learning new things and then practicing the new things. It’s the perfect balance for me and I look forward to coming to school knowing each day I am getting closer to achieving my goals. The teachers make it easy to open up and if we don’t understand how to do something they are more than happy to re-explain and help. They never think a question is stupid, so I’m not afraid to ask questions when I don’t fully understand something. I’m so grateful to be here and can’t wait to continue my time here and learn as much as I can.” -Charleen Vierra

“My very first few days have been exciting to say the least. I have learned so much in only a few days. I hope to learn even more in the next few weeks. As for the classroom atmosphere, everyone is so welcoming, Fari and Austin are such wonderful teachers. I am excited to learn from them and I already like their teaching methods. I’m excited to see what is next to learn.” -Alexis Garth

“I couldn’t have asked for a better first day here at Lytle’s! Having not been in school for a few months, I was nervous but quickly that changed. Right away I made some friendships that I can tell will last throughout our time here and even after that. The people who sit around me are very helpful and always ready to answer and questions I have. Right after we all introduced ourselves to Fari and then she went back and said all of our names which impressed me that she had them down so fast. I also noticed how Kathy was with all of us when she came into the classroom. I loved seeing that she is not only a business owner, but actually goes in depth with the students of her school.” -Samantha Noel

After visiting other schools, I decided on Lytle’s because the atmosphere and campus were impressive. The students and staff looked happy and enthusiastic. That was the biggest factor in ym decision.

My life outside of school consists of work and sleep. I don’t have much time for my friends or a social life.

4. What is your most memorable experience here at Lytle’s?

The zone 1 training room (my first 12 weeks) is my favorite memory. Austin and Fari thoroughly prepare you for giving clients a proper, professional service in The Salon.

5. How has beauty changed your life?

It’s amazing how a different look or the right look can change a persons attitude and confidence. I never knew that being a part of helping one’s confidence could make me so proud.

7. Do you have any advice to anyone thinking about beauty as a career?

Have you ever thought about beauty as a career? Wondered if you’d even like Beauty College? Well here’s your chance so peek inside and she what’s happening here at Lytle’s. Today’s post is from Zone 1 students with just 6 weeks of training. How was the first six weeks of school? Read on to find out.

“This has been and continues to be the best experience of my life. I love coming to school and I like the teaching format so far. It is clean, concise, and easy to comprehend. This school is so lucky to have an educator like Fari! She is a wonderful teacher. If I had Fari as my teacher in elementary, junior and high school; I’m sure my grades then would have been much better! So, hats off to you for a great education and my future career!” – Katrina P.

” I really enjoyed my first six weeks at REBC. Everyone is so helpful, especially the educators. They are all so hands on and I feel like they all genuinely want us to succeed. We started in the skin section which was a little overwhelming, but afterwards when we moved on to color, I loved it! Color felt like it came very natural to me. I really enjoyed seeing the hair color change and being able to see each step of it. I really look forward to moving to the floor and being able to apply all these concepts to actual clients.” – Krista H.

“My first 6 weeks have been amazing! I love everything. Fari is the best teacher, you can really see how much she cares about her students and making sure they succeed. Austin is also great! I love having him in the classroom, he is a great instructor and he also really cares for his students. All of the information I learned my first 6 weeks really made me excited to be here and continue my education throughout this program (and of course after I graduate too). All of the staff here is wonderful! I already think that this is an amazing school and I can’t wait to see how much I learn and grow!” – Nicole S.

“I have appreciated the motivation is the staff to create empowered career oriented individuals as opposed to cookie cutter replicas off of a factory line. We are encouraged and emboldened to find who we are while maintaining a high level of respect and achievement.

I have never been an A student. I have never felt it important to receive high marks. At REBC, I enjoy what I’m learning and the manner in which we learn, lecture ​AND​ hands on. I am most proud to sya I ended my initial 6 weeks with a 98% overall grade. I could not be happier knowing I worked hard every moment of every day in class and having it pay off. It wasn’t my easiest accomplishment by any means, but it is one of my most valued” – ​Fiance W.

” The first six weeks were full of change for me. For the first time in my life I received 100% on a test and worked hard to get it. All of the self limiting beliefs I had about myself academically and some of my value systems which were negative, I was able to challenge and have proved myself to be a smart, driven, and talented young woman. I did have my moments where I did not see myself ever understanding something but with the help of Austin and Fari, I ended the chapters with confidence. My biggest challenge had been trying to find a way to incorporate my style and technique into what I do. Slowly I am about who I really am everyday at REBC.” – Hilary F.

” I’ve had such and awesome experience the first 6 weeks. I learned so much that I’ve already applied to my life. I’m so excited and eager to move forward in my life as a successful hair designer and salon owner and use all that I’ve learned here at REBC. I’m so thrilled to be completing my last 6 weeks here in Zone 1 (basic training) and finally go down tot he floor and work on real clients. This school is truly a family.” – Chelsea F.
